Ye Zheng's pen didn't stop, and one by one the symbols fell from the tip of his pen onto the paper, turning into melodies. Zhou Ke stood by and watched, thinking about these melodies in his heart, he is a gold medal producer with real strength, and his grasp of music and melody is naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people, looking at the melody, the song sounded in his heart.
From low and deep, to impassioned, like crying and complaining, like shouting. In that sea, Zhou Ke looked at the topic, and looked at Ye Zheng with a complicated expression. Shocked! No! It's not shocked! If it weren't for Ye Zheng's young age, he would have to bow down! From an idea in his heart, he could compose such a mature and perfect melody in just a few minutes? If it were him, making such a piece of the same quality, even when he was in a good state, it would not be possible to complete it in a day or two.
A few minutes? Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Genius! Demonic Iniquity! Zhou Ke's heart set off a stormy wave! Such a musical demon was something he had never seen in his life! Such a person must be caught! For a moment, Zhou Ke's heart began to think about whether to drag Ye Zheng to the wheat field and become the contracted creator of the wheat field. But this idea was instantly denied by himself! Which music company is qualified to have such a demonic creator?
He even said unceremoniously that if Ye Zheng could really have such terrifying creative power as he does now, he could even support all the creative tasks of a large music company by himself! He suddenly thought of a possibility, after Ye Zheng accumulated a certain amount of capital, would he create his own music company? Now Ye Zheng is already so amazing, what will Ye Zheng look like in the future? If he creates a music company, what kind of music company can resist such amazing creative ability?
There were many thoughts flickering in his heart, and he thought that when he returned to Yanjing, he must discuss this matter with the senior management of Wheat Field Music. persuade them to do everything possible to win over Ye Zheng, and if they can't win over, they must find a way to get close and become his close partner and close friend! This idea was even more certain when he saw Ye Zheng start to fill in the lyrics after writing the tune. The inspiration in his heart turned into a melody, and then he came up with the lyrics when he wrote the melody? Moreover, looking at the lyrics being written under the melody, he hummed this song in his heart, and found that the combination of this song and the lyrics was as if it had been carefully considered for many days, and the combination was very good! "That Sea" is definitely a classic song!
This...... If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, but someone else had told him, he would definitely have to touch the man's head to see if he had a fever. And what he wanted to do most now was to take a serious look at Ye Zheng's head, and he wanted to know what was in this young man's head. Ye Zheng put down the pen, the song "That Sea" was completed in one go, he stood up, handed the song sheet to Lu Hong, and said: "It's lunch time now, I'll go out to have a meal with Teacher Zhou and talk, let's go to KTV at two o'clock in the afternoon to listen to you sing." You have more than two hours to prepare. ”
"Thank you...... Thank you, Mr. Ye!" Although she was older than Ye Zheng, Lu Hong still respectfully called him "Mr. Ye", Zhou Ke originally refused to sign her, but it was this young man who made this matter turn around and gave her another chance.
"No thanks, it's really up to you to do it. Ye Zheng smiled: "Come on, believe in yourself!" Then he looked at Zhou Ke, who was still stunned, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, let's go? Shall we go to my house for dinner? Or do we find a restaurant nearby?" Since we still have to listen to Lu Hong singing in the afternoon, let's discuss the matter of the wheat field at noon?" "Let's go to your house." Zhou Ke finally recovered from the stormy waves, and said with a solemn face: "I'm going to take a good look, what kind of environment has created such a monster as you!" Ye Zheng smiled: "That's good...... Master Lu, please send us back again......"
"Hey, will you two stay at my house for dinner?" Master Lu invited, turned his head and said to his daughter-in-law: "Go buy vegetables and cook, treat you two!" Master Lu's daughter-in-law agreed to go out to buy vegetables, but was pulled by Ye Zheng and said with a smile: "We still have some things to discuss, and it is not convenient for you to be here." You better send us back, and pick us up there at two o'clock in the afternoon, with Lu Hong. Let's go to a KTV together and try Lu Hong's singing again. "That'...... Okay!" Master Lu nodded. The three of them went downstairs and got into a taxi, Master Lu drove them to Ye Zheng's community, and when Ye Zheng and them got out of the car, Ye Zheng noticed that Master Lu was talking to him and stopped, so he smiled and said, "Master Lu, do you have anything to say?"
"Alas, that's right. Master Lu was a little embarrassed and said: "I also understand that you two are nobles, and it is her blessing and opportunity for Xiaohong to meet you today...... I don't know if she will be able to satisfy you in the afternoon. But I have a reluctant request, if she doesn't do well in the afternoon, please praise her more, okay? This kid needs the encouragement of you serious musicians......"
Ye Zheng looked at Master Lu, the middle-aged man's face showed embarrassment, hope, expectation, helplessness, and love...... All kinds of expressions made Ye Zheng feel emotional. This is a father's deep love for his daughter! So, he said to Master Lu seriously: "Don't worry, Master Lu, I wrote a song for Lu Hong based on my feelings! I believe she will be able to sing it well!" Then he smiled: "By the way, don't disturb her when I go back later, but I must let her have some lunch, otherwise she will have no strength in the afternoon......" "Mmmm, I remember!" Master Lu nodded and turned to the taxi home. "If this girl will sign into the wheat field, she should be grateful to you!" Zhou Ke said. "I just helped her, but it's you who really want to build her. Ye Zheng smiled and said, "Let's go, take you to visit my house." Oh, you seem to say that my sister knows you? Then do you remember to leave an autograph for my sister and take a group photo......"
Although the two have not met for a long time, after Lu Hong's incident, the relationship has quickly become much closer, like good friends. Zhou Ke wanted to have lunch at their house, his parents went to work and couldn't come back at noon, his sister made a few dishes enthusiastically and actively, and the three of them ate together, under Ye Zheng's reminder, Zhou Ke left an autograph and a group photo, and then entered Ye Zheng's room to discuss the new album. Yang Xudong. This is the singer Zhou Ke wants to invite Ye Zheng to be the singer of the album, Yang Xudong is also somewhat well-known in China, although it is a little worse than an idol singer like Lin Wanqing, but it is much better than a second-tier singer like Qin Ge. Mai Tian wants to make an excellent album and build Yang Xudong into a new popular idol singer. Yang Xudong's creative team has identified several songs on the new album, the style is the same as ever, but none of them qualify as the classic title track. Zhou Ke wanted to ask Ye Zheng for a few songs to join it, and it was best to have a high-quality title song.
Ye Zheng heard Yang Xudong's songs, and they turned on the computer to find a few of Yang Xudong's masterpieces and listened to them. In Ye Zheng's mind, singers on the earth flashed quickly, and soon discovered that Yang Xudong's characteristics were very similar to a person, Zhou Chuanxiong! Emotional, catchy, delicate and clean, smart and melancholy, and penetrating. Find the right positioning, the rest will be easy to do, Zhou Chuanxiong has a lot of good songs, but those good songs that are widely circulated can also make two or three good albums. "How is it?, is it difficult?" Zhou Ke asked with a smile.
"There are some difficulties, but they should be solvable, since you also have some songs to prepare. Well, I'll only have about three songs on this album, and I'll give it to you in the next month. Some other singles will also be sorted out and will be given to you one after another. Ye Zheng said, his tone was flat and confident. There are some difficulties, and that is entirely an expression of modesty and prudence. "Well, I'm looking forward to your work. Zhou Ke smiled: "The whole Wheat Field Music is looking forward to your works! Moreover, I am looking forward to it, I really want to know what kind of shock your works will bring to the Wheat Field Music!" After a pause, he continued: "Actually, I am already looking forward to how much shock you will bring to the Chinese music scene with Baina's three albums!" I believe that those musicians who already know you but don't pay much attention to you will soon understand your terrifying strength, and presumably Baina is ready to take Lin Wanqing's album to the Asian Music Festival, and I also want to see if you can get some honors at the Asian Music Festival. ”
"I'm looking forward to it too. Ye Zheng smiled. "I hope that if you have new works in the future, you will give priority to collaborating with Rye Field Music, and we will show enough sincerity!" "Well, I also think you are a good person, and I am very happy to cooperate with you." ”
Sing a song. Ye Zheng praised with satisfaction: "Not bad!" Then he looked at Zhou Ke and asked, "How is it?" "It's good." Zhou Ke said, was silent for a moment, and said, "I can consider signing her into Wheat Field Music." A look of ecstasy appeared on Lu Hong's face!
"But ......" Zhou Ke's words made Lu Hong's heart suddenly mention. Zhou Ke smiled: "However, I can't directly sign her as a singer for the time being." In this way, we recently did a singer training class at Wheat Field Music. I'll give you a place to go in and study. You will be assessed again after a certain period of time. If you pass the assessment, you will be signed under the banner of Wheat Field Music. As he spoke, he looked at Ye Zheng and said with a smile: "If one day, Lu Hong wants to release an album, but I still need you to make a move!" "No problem." Ye Zheng smiled and said to Lu Hong: "Work hard, I will keep the song that suits you, waiting for you to get it!"
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Zhou, thank you, Mr. Ye!" Zhou Hong was ecstatic, bent down and bowed to Zhou Ke and Ye Zheng, tears welled up in her eyes, how many days she was obsessed with music, but she was opposed by her parents and ridiculed by her neighbors. I can't imagine that one day I will enter the top domestic wheat field music to study, and it is even more possible to sign a contract with wheat field music. Zhou Ke left the next day, stayed at Ye Zheng's house at night, and chatted with Ye Zheng about music creation and production, Ye Zheng asked him a lot of knowledge, and Ye Zheng's unique musical views and phenomena on the earth also benefited Zhou Ke a lot. As a famous music producer, Zhou Ke was warmly welcomed by Ye Zheng's family. "Now a producer like me is already an amazing figure in the eyes of your family. But it shouldn't be long before your parents will feel that some first-class singer and famous musician are just that. Zhou Ke smiled at Ye Zheng and said, "Your future will grow to a height that many people can't reach!"
"I hope so. Ye Zheng smiled, his smile was full of confidence. Another few days passed, on the last day of February, in the morning, the number of red votes for the book was 4225, and the number of red votes for Xiao Xiaoyan's book was 4240, a difference of only 15 votes. On this day, the competition for the top spot of the new book red ticket list is particularly fierce. Xiao Xiaoyan made a promise to canvass for votes for five mores, but unexpectedly, Ye Zheng directly broke out a ten watch! In the end, the super powerful update speed made Ye Zheng's book friends crazy, and the book friend "Snowman" became the third alliance leader after "Alluring Jiaoyun" and "Step by Step", and at the same time, several grandmaster elders and other fans were born. In one time, the rewards received reached 300,000 website virtual coins, and there were dozens of red tickets from the rewards alone, surpassing Xiao Xiaoyan's book. Until the end, Xiao Xiaoyan's book did not surpass.
The book Gone with the Wind won the first place on the new book red list, and this news was like a small publicity, which once again made the book popular. The collection of Ethereal Journey has exceeded 100,000. The number of subscriptions is as high as 15,000. The maximum subscription is more than 30,000. The cultural preservation work in this world is better than on the earth, and people's awareness of genuine copies is also stronger, although there are pirated websites, but there are still a large number of people who read genuine copies. Moreover, it is said that several people are jointly submitting a proposal for the protection of the legitimate version of online literature, and after it is passed, some unauthorized free pirate websites will be blocked. At that time, the income of online writers will definitely increase.
Immediately afterwards, the editor contacted Ye Zheng and said that the book Piao Lu was going to release a physical book. There are also game development companies that are interested in the copyright of this book, and they need to investigate it for a while, and if it is appropriate, they will buy the copyright and develop it into a game. Ye Zheng was overjoyed, the physical book and game copyright proved that the book was very successful and had a large market. More importantly, because of the money!
He sold three albums to Baina at once just for money. Then promised Zhou Ke to write songs for money. He needs money now, he needs a lot of money! Because he wants to create his own music company! If he only sells a large number of songs in his memory to these music companies, in the end he will only have the income from selling songs, and the rest is basically none of his business. But since he has such a thing in his head, why not make the best use of it and create his own music company to make a profit? He doesn't want to sell songs all the time, and the songs he sold before have been planned for a long time, and he gradually sorts the songs he remembers. Some of them can be sold, and most of the good classic songs are intended to be kept for future music companies. This is also the reason why Ye Zheng didn't sell songs when he made a move, and the songs were very classic.
Good things, you still have to keep them for yourself. It's a good idea, but not to mention personnel, the least that is needed is a start-up capital. Nowadays, there are 20 or 30 music companies in Huaxia that are large and small. Large ones, such as Wheat Field Music, have a market value of billions, and small ones have tens of millions. Therefore, if you want to start, you must have tens of millions of registered capital.
Where does the money come from? Selling songs is part of it, writing is a hobby, and it's also about making some money. The revenue from physical books and game rights is a lot of money.
On the evening of the fifth day, Ye Zheng followed Zhang Deqiang and them to the venue of the Asian Music Festival Awards Gala, and they got the news in advance that at this Asian Music Festival, Baina's "Dearest You" won four nominations.
They were nominated for Best Song and Best Lyrics for "Encounter", Best Arrangement for "Black and White Duet", and Best Composition for "Right and Wrong". There are four nominations for an album, which is a great thing to celebrate. And Lin Wanqing was also nominated for Best Female Singer. Their luck is not bad enough to win a prize, at least one. Ye Zheng's two nominations were as expected. It's just that Zhang Deqiang's heart is not very happy. Because Ye Zheng is going to start his own music company in the future, and it will definitely be in Hengyang City, which means that they will become the most direct competitors.
Many people don't care about Ye Zheng, but Zhang Deqiang remembered the strong confidence that Ye Zheng showed when he talked to him that day, and he felt a little confused. He had a faint premonition in his heart, perhaps, Ye Zheng, a young man, could really make some achievements? Regarding the nomination, of course, it is just the gossip of the jury group, which has not been made public on the surface, and it will be announced by the host at the music festival. At six o'clock in the evening, the artists walked into the party one after another, and the awards party will last about two hours, and the estimated time is from seven to nine o'clock.
"Hey, Brother Ye!" Zhou Ke saw Ye Zheng, greeted him, and sat directly beside him. The seats here are all casual sitting, and many people are not in their own music company, so it is normal to sit and chat with friends.
"Old Zhou. Ye Zheng said with a smile. "When did I call Lao Zhou?" Zhou Ke smiled: "Okay, okay, compared to you, I can indeed be called Lao Zhou." Ye Zheng smiled and nodded: "That's right." "I heard you're going to start a music company?" Zhou Ke asked in a low voice.
"Hmm. Ye Zheng nodded, looked at Zhou Ke and asked, "What do you have to say?" Zhou Ke frowned and said, "I didn't expect you to have such guts." Anyway, you haven't given us the songs we bought in the wheat field, so you're going to start your own music company? Inevitably, you're a little anxious, aren't you? Although Qiu Feng's words are ugly, they are not unreasonable...... Listen to my brother, mix in this circle for two more years, learn more about things, and accumulate more capital, and it's not too late to make plans. Anyway, you are still young, and if you sharpen your creativity, it will be better to run a company in the future. ”
Ye Zheng smiled: "Zhang Ailing said that you should be famous as soon as possible...... And I said Lao Zhou, if what I know is correct, the contract between you and Mai Tian just expired yesterday, right? Now you are not a person from Mai Tian in the legal sense, what do you call your Mai Tian?" "The renewal contract is on my desk! A three-year renewal! I will sign it when I go back today!" Zhou Ke glared: "Is what I said wrong? Hehe, brother, I am an important person in Mai Tian, and they are reluctant to let me go." If it weren't for the delay of something else some time ago, the renewal of the contract would have been signed a long time ago...... Hey, what did you just say, Zhang Ailing, who is this person, why haven't I heard of it......?"
"A pancake seller on the outskirts of Hengyang...... Ahem, I said Lao Zhou, if you think about it, you won't sign the renewal contract, right?" "Why don't you sign it?" ”
"If you think about it again, if you miss this village, you won't have this store!" Ye Zheng said: "You run the music company, and I do the creation." Wouldn't it be better for the two of us to set up a joint venture than if you were to work for someone else?"
"Well, now let's say I promise you. Zhou Ke said: "Then tell me your specific plans? I am not reliable in the operation of the company, let me bring some people to be responsible for the production and promotion of the album, after all, I have always done this." But the company's business and management, I can't do it. And if you kid plans to start a music company, naturally you want to take most of the shares, and I only take a small part, how much can I earn? ”
"You have to believe that even if you only own 10 percent of the shares, in a few years your income will definitely be several times what you are now. Ye Zheng's words were full of confidence: "I will still find a way to manage and run the company." In fact, if Ye Zheng is allowed to take care of the company by himself, he will also have the confidence to give it a try. But he still has to go to college and has a lot to do, so he really doesn't have much energy to manage the company. So he plans to find someone again, this person, he also has eyebrows. "10 percent of the shares are tens of millions of dollars? You know, I'm talking about profits, not market capitalization! I also believe that you might be able to turn a music company into a company worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but it's another thing to make a profit. Zhou Ke thought that Ye Zheng didn't understand the concept. "I'm talking about profit. "How Ye Zheng also had a master's degree in economic management in his previous life, this truth is still clear. Zhou Ke opened his mouth, and found that he was a little speechless in front of the strong self-confidence shown by Ye Zheng, and nodded helplessly after a while: "Okay, let's assume that this is also true! Suppose someone will manage the company well! Suppose I can do a good job of production and publicity and other artist-related work! However, you said that you are in charge of creation? Hey, I said brother...... Aren't you, to put it mildly, a little too highly of yourself?"
Ye Zheng smiled: "Maybe it's hard for you to imagine, but creating this kind of thing is actually not as difficult for me as you think." Since our brother is talking, I have said so much to you. I might as well tell you that the song for the wheat field has been written for a long time, but it has not been given to you yet. "Huh?" Zhou Ke was stunned, a little surprised, he knew that Ye Zheng had sold some songs to Peacock Music and Blue Dream Records, and he was already shocked at the time, thinking that Ye Zheng probably delayed the song he wrote to Mai Tian, but he didn't expect that Ye Zheng had already created it. "Well, I'll sign the contract when I go back, I'll give the song to the wheat field, and then I won't sell the song to me for the time being. Ye Zheng said: "Having said that, my creative ability is really strong, Lao Zhou, you have to believe this...... Well, I might as well reveal it to you again. I'm definitely going to start this music company, and it's going to be this year...... I've written two albums and found an artist! And when I say good, not only the lyrics, but also the arrangement. ”
"This ......" Zhou Ke was dumbfounded. How long has it been since the last time Ye Zheng sold three albums to Baina? In three months, Ye Zheng sold five songs to Peacock Music, sold an album to Blue Dream Records, and then wrote the songs to be handed over to Mai Tian. That's at least 20 songs! In this case, he even said that he had already written two albums! Oh my God! Zhou Ke had a feeling of being struck by lightning! This news was too shocking, wasn't it? This creative ability was too terrifying, right? Also, what did he just say? The arrangement was also completed? What is the situation! He used to just sell songs, and he sold good lyrics and songs, and the sophisticated lyrics and songs of various styles have already surprised them musicians, and now he can still arrange music? And the arrangement of two albums was completed in such a short time?
What kind of work is that? Could it be that the singer Ye Zheng found is an old singer with excellent arranging experience, or he has already found someone who knows how to arrange music to work with?
